How do you get a UPC code?

If you need a lot of UPC codes then you should register for your own UPC prefix with GS1 (formerly UCC) so that you can issue your own UPC numbers. This can cost from $750 and up depending on how many UPC's you need to issue, plus an annual renewal fee. If you just need a few now and then, there are many companies on the web that offer UPC bar codes one at a time, just google "buy UPC barcode" and you will find a few. Their prices range from $29-89 per UPC bar code, and some charge a one-time membership fee.
